He was a true South Sea idolater, brown, sleek and oily. “The new god is finished,” he continued, regard- ing the image critically, and ‘without waiting for Lester to excuse himself, “It ts well, slave! It shall be set up in the temple, before the’ great altar, to-morrow. And you shall carve another god twice aslarge as this!

Our correspondent at St Georges, Bermuda, writing on Jaly 81, says:—The great event of this week has been the arrival of the Bermuda Dock from Sheerness, England, after the remarkable passage of #4 days. The dock left Porto Santo, Madetra, on July 4, being towed by her Majesty's steamers Warrior and Black Prince, each 1260 horse power, and ateered by the frigate Terrible, of 800 horse power, accom- pauted by her Majesty's steamer Lapwing as tender, From all I can learn they had a very smooth passage and fair winds. On Thursday, all the preparations having been completed, it went through the narrows at midday inthe fol- lowing order :—Her Majesty's ships Spitfire and Terrible tow- ing abead, with the Viper on the port side and the Vixen on the starboard side, with the Laping astern, the frigates War- rior and Biack Prince remaining at anchor. For about half an hour in this dangerous passage the dock was probably in more danger than since its departure from the shores of Eng- land, but ft passed safely through, and was moored at the Naval Yard at4 PM, The arrival of this magnificent struc- ture wan greeted by the inhabitants with* expressions of joy, ‘and the shores were lined with spectators during the whole course of the journey to the Naval Yard, Marine Disasters STZAMERA STARE (Br), from St John, NB, for Halifax, NS, went ashore night of the 10th {nat on Ci Pt] Part of (the cargo was thrown overboard to lighten the vessel e was got off and taken Into Barrington on the Il Considerably darmaged, Bank Gro Dunxer (before reported) hostng at Hurd’s Island, Doboy Sound, for Liverpool aya. hart the lower hold full of ti imber, was struck bY & att ae M 6th no , careening over, the lower port being open, she Ailed'and sank fa WO feat wratee, 4 ered a4 wertut pump weredespaiched from Savannah on pump @ HANNAN Lizzim—A telegray the Pine street News Ktoom from Galveston reports ‘Meow: of the brig Hane nah Lizzie, Capt Ferguson, from Liverpool for Gal OF the North Breaker Augnat 12; would “probably be a total loss. aroun Teh Toms om Calas Uniting racopiae, of Pas 0 into a Rook and carried bi ray har fying sioboom and all ber bond gear; damage to ‘fot khown, JOUR ORION, from igor for Boston, with a cargo of fish, was tor red into ¥: Mh fOr taet dinmnnened. ‘Bale rage ah swe the pari who rnd fasiatance 4000, fA Bowuan from New York, at New Be 4 th ey insu when Smastitie fvoor ran't known ging s77ioe am ay fy pmsst ‘end carried ‘ — SurERe (Be), Cntr, arr, arrived at Portemoth, WH, 10h repaired.
